OTTAWA, October 15th. — The ac- 
tion of the Agricultural Department 
here in entering the market and buy- 
ing some low grade cattle is based 
on simple common sense. 

At this time, it is explained here, 
a considerable number of low grade 
and “misfit” cattle are sent to mar- 
ket. It is a “salvage” proposition. 


Obtained Expected Results 


These cattle always come into mar- 
ket in large numbers before winter 
sets in. High prices are not expected 
or received for them, but with these 
, animals on the market, prices even 
for the better quality tend to be de- 
pressed. Through the Department’s 
action in receiving a certain quantity 
of the low grade stock it was intend- 
ed that the pressure should be reliev- 
ed, and this has in fact, it is stated, 
been the result. 

The lowering of the immediate price 
to $23 is intended as an incentive to 
hold cattle back for the winter, and 
it is having an advantageous effect. 
The cattle will be in much more fin- 
ished shape, when in April the price 
is raised again to $25.

Think About Turkeys 


J | ‘HE time is here again when the good 


farm wife starts to try and figure out how 

much her turkey crop is going to bring, 
and she usually does a lot of mental shopping 
with the expected returns. 


We on our part usually try to give some 


idea as to what the prospects are for a satisfactory return for the care 
you have given your birds. 


Our Information to Date 


Our information to date shows that Eastern Canada, British Columbia 
(our best customers in former years) and the U.S.A., have larger than 
usual turkey flocks of their own, and it is very probable that they will not 
be buying as many birds from Alberta as they have done in other years. 
To date buyers are offering somewhat lower prices than last year, and it 
looks as though the lower prices will apply to turkeys bought from now on. 


YVeuerpco m2 


Nevertheless, we believe that prices 
this year will be at ‘a level which will 
show satisfactory returns for well fleshed 
and finished birds of medium weight. 

We are on a consumers’ market 
and the consumer is choosy. He will 
pay top prices for quality, but is in- 
different to products of inferior grade. ; 

The spread between good quality . 
and not So good quality is widening 
very noticeably. For instance, on eggs there is a 4c per 
dozen spread between A Large and A Medium and the spread 
between A Large and B eggs is 20c. : : 

Poultry shows the same trend — there is now 8c per Ib. 
aby between A and B chickens instead of the usual 1c to 2c 
spread. ‘ 

Turkeys wil! follow the same price pattern and every 
effort should be made to feed and handle your birds from now 
until shipping time with the very best of care and attention. 

An Excellent Fattening Feed ! : 

Here is an excellent fattening feed that will give satisfac- 


tory results.

Jesse Cole Master Farm Family are shown on the 
steps of their home. Left to right (front row) are Mr. Cole; Margaret, 7; and 
Mrs. Cole. The sons are Allan, 14 (left) and Ronald, 18. Another son, Gerald a 
22-year-old agricultural student at the University of Alberta, was absent 


when the photo was taken. 


Objectives Stated 

“The families we are honor- 
ing this year are outstanding 
for their achievements in agri- 
culture, home-making and citi- 
zenship,” stated Mr. Ure, in 
making the announcement. 
The main purpose of the 
awards, he pointed out, is “to 
provide Alberta farmers with 
a practical demonstration of 
how a family can achieve suc- 
‘cess in farming and living with 
each other and their commun- 
ity. The program is intended 
to emphasize the advantages 
of the farming vocation and

Fourth Group Honored 


The above families are the fourth 
group to be honored in this manner. 
Each family receives an award of 
$1,000, an engraved plaque and a 
name plate for the farm entrance. 


It is provided that candidates must 
be Canadian citizens who have oper- 
ated a farm either as owner or lessee 
for 20 consecutive years. At least 
three neighbors must nominate a 
family. Selections are made on a 
regional basis, and a Provincial com- 
mittee — consisting of a working 
farmer, a technical agriculturist, a 
home economist, a housewife and a 
representative of the experimental 
farms — confirms the selections. 


Eighty-seven factors are taken into 
consideration. 


The Minister congratulated the win- 
ners of the awards and the other 
families whose nomination, he stress- 
ed, was in itself, a great honor and 
proof of the high regard in which 
they were held in the community. 
Nominations totalled 32. 


Lambert Master Farm Family 


From a tiny homestead gouged 
from the wilderness in 1931, the John 
D. Lambert farm family has built up 
a modern farm in the Manning dis- 
trict of the Peace River country. 


Coming -from his father’s home in 
Austen, Man., to the “dry area” of 
Alberta in 1927 (where he first met 
the future Mrs. Lambert at Oyen), he 
remained there as a farm hand until 
1931, when the Alberta Government 
paid freighting costs to anyone who 
wished to move to a new area. 
Equipped with horses, sleigh and 
meagre equipment, he and a friend 
made a three-day trip from Grimshaw 


‘in mid-winter to their homesteads. 


Mr, Lambert had a purebred Short- 
horn bull and a purebred Yorkshire 
sow, which he had taken in wages. 
Building a log barn for the stock and 
a dugout in a creek bank for them- 
selves, they killed moose for food the

first winter. In spring nine acres 
were sown for Mr. Lambert’s first 
crop, the purebred bull being used 
for breaking. From the grey wooded 
soil the crop was poor. 
Transformation of 21 Years 
That was 21 years ago. Today the 
Lamberts farm, scientifically and pro- 
ductively, a section and a quarter. 
Besides Mr. and Mrs. Lambert there 
are six members of the family; the 
eldest, Helen, 17, being in her second 
year at Fairview School of Agricul- 
ture and Home Economics. Charlie, 
invaluable on the farm, is 15, and 
attends school, as do the younger 


children, Thelma, Dorothy, Gail and 
Ivan. Mr. Lambert is vice-president 
of the Battle River Agricultural Soci- 
ety, director of the Manning Co-op, 
and a director of the local missionary 
church, while Mrs. Lambert, also a 
member of the agricultural society, 
takes an active part in local mis- 
sionary work. 

About 400 acres are under cultiva- 
tion. Wheat is the main crop, with 
barley, alfalfa, oats. By good farm 
practices, use of sweé@t clover, grasses 
and fertilizers, including rotations, the 
soil is kept at a high rate of produc-

Alone, the farmer is about the most helpless 
individual in the whole community. United with his 
fellow farmers in strong organizations, the farmer 
group can be the most powerful. 


Farmers must learn to organize and gain

support to their own farm organizations. 


They 


should also patronize Alberta’s many useful farmer

MASTER FARM FAMILIES 


To the five Master Farm Families who 
are the recipients of this year’s awards we 
extend our congratulations. 


They are representative of a great body of 
farm people in many communities who have 
been builders of our-agricultural industry and 
have won success the hard way. The neigh- 
bors of the families who have been chosen 
played an important role in their selection, 
and are honored in the recognition which has 
been given them. ; 


Personal success and family well-being do 
not invariably result from the efforts of men 
and women who give service of the highest 
order to their communities, but ungrudging 
praise will be given by all to those who have 


deserved and won recognition in these awards.

MORE ABOUT DUCKS AND FARMERS 


“Reading your editorial reference to ‘Ducks 
and the Farmers’ in your issue of October 
ord,’ wrote E. S. Russenholt of Winnipeg in 
a letter which we received a few days ago, “I 
thought you might be interested in the views 
of an old hunter and an evangelist of con- 
servation.” 

Enclosed was a copy of a broadcast en- 
titled ‘Duck Damage to Grain Crops,” which 
Mr. Russenholt gave recently over a Manitoba 
station. It is an examination of the problem 
in its many aspects, and is of such great in- 
terest that we think our readers will be glad 
of an opportunity to read the presentation in 
full. We print it as a “guest editorial’. 

* Ss * 

Mr. Russenholt was born in Western Can- 
ada, and conservation and agriculture have 
been his special interests throughout a very 
active life. He was at one time a cartoonist 
for the agricultural press. He served as Sec- 
retary-Manager of ‘Ducks Unlimited” for sev- 
eral years, and he has addressed many farm- 
ers’ conventions in Western Canada, Today 
he is engaged in the Publicity Department of 
the Canadian Wheat Pool. 

* * Ss 


“When a farmer produces grain for the 
benefit of our whole economy, and his grain is 
damaged by ducks,” Mr. Russenholt contends, 
“that farmer’s loss should be indemnified in 
full,” He proposes the adoption of a plan of 
insurance to which contributions should be 
made by the Government of Canada and the 
Governments of the Provinces; by farmers 
who may choose to protect themselves in this 
rnanner, and by the hunters, whose share, he 
suggests, might be provided by the payment 
of an additional amount for permits to hunt 

ucks. As most of the ducks are shot by 
hunters in the United States, he thinks they 
should pay their share of these premiums, and 
he believes they would be ready to do so. 


Mr. Russenholt’s presentation will no doubt 
give rise to a good deal of discussion among 
farmers who know from unhappy experience 
how heavy a toll ducks can levy on their crops 
in some seasons, It is with this end in view 
that it is published. Was

A THOUGHT FOR HARVEST 


And now the days of harvest are fulfilled, 
And safely home the precious cargo borne. 
The stubbled fields, of golden glory shorn, 
Proclaim the season's haunting fears now stilled, 
The eager freighters, weighted down with grain, 
By day and night to far-flung markets ply, 
But, by the ancient law of loss and gain, 
The poor, however needy, may not buy. 


Where hunger hovers peace can not be bred, 
Nor can war's flame and fury peace compel. 
Only a common table, amply spread, - 
The fires of world unrest will ever quell. 
Want keeps the human spirit deaf and blind 
To doctrines that would fortify the mind. 


ISA GRINDLAY JACKSON 


cere ne ED 
DUCK DAMAGE TOC GRAIN CROPS 
By E. S. RUSSENHOLT 

This question of damage to grain crops by water- 
fowl has two sides. On the one side are the humans; 
on the other, the ducks. Now, the people concerned can 
speak for themselves — or they can enlist able advo- © 
cates. So I am going to speak from the duck’s point 
of view. ; 

When ducks settle on farm fields they eat some 
grain — but they destroy far more. This can be a real 
problem. Sometimes — in some places — it can be a 
disaster. Farmers who get hit one year may not suffer 
again for years. Some never do. 

The amount of damage done by ducks — and the 
localities where they do it — depend on the weather, 
on the grain crop, and on the duck crop. Last year, in 
many localities, ducks did considerable damage because 
the grain lay in swaths for many weeks due to wet 
weather; and, during those weeks, the ducks flocked for 
southward migration. Again, this fall, the ducks settled 


‘on the grain fields in many farm neighborhoods; be- 


cause, as old-timers tell us, ‘Lots of ducks — lots of 
wheat.” : 
. Bulk Produced in Canadian West 

The bulk of North America’s ducks are produced in 
our Canadian West. Years ago, information was that 
(perhaps) 25 per cent were hatched on our Farmlands, 
end 75 per cent in the Northland beyond. Observation 
soon taught, however, that duck population is not static. 
Ducks move. For instance, one of the biggest water- 
fowl] hatcheries is the delta at the West end of Lake 
Athabaska. In the fall of 1937, a survey indicated some 
9 million ducks on the Athabaska Delta. The following 
year the Delta was flooded, and only 10 per cent as 
miany ducks stayed there to nest. Vast numbers went 
somewhere else to raise their broods. In 1939, the esti- 
mated population was away up again — to 13 million. 

So, ducks are mobile. As they migrate north in 
spring, the females seem to head for the spot where 
they were born (and, of course, the drakes follow along). 
But they will fly 100 miles — 1,000 miles — to settle 
where waters promise good conditions for raising a crop. 

Fly North When Farmiands Dry 

When our Farmlands are dry in the spring most 
ducks fly on, down to the Northland, to produce that 
year’s crop. When spring waters are plentiful over the 
Farmlands, more ducks settle on prairie ponds — leaving 
fewer to go down North. In a year when shallow 
waters on our Farmlands wither in mid-summer, a great 
part of the prairie hatch may be destroyed by drought; 
and the duck crop must '’come from the Northland, That 
fall, there will be fewer ducks in the Farmlands, until 
the migration comes through from ‘the North. And 
that fall we will have short grain crops in many neigh- 
borhoods. 

In years when waters are plentiful on our Farm- 
lands in spring — and prairie ponds are replenished 
by good summer rains,.so that they carry through 
until the new duck crop is on the wing — in those 
years we» have great numbers of nesting ducks’ 
producing a big crop on the Farmlands. And in 
such years we have big grain crops, too. 

This seems te be the general pattern. But there 
is so much yet to be learned about wildlife, including 
ducks,,that no person can speak with certainty,

Returns from Britain 


After spending the past six months 
in Britain, in practical work on.farms 
and in travel and study of British 
farming methods, as a Nuffield 
Scholar, Bruce Ellis (above) returned 
to Canada a week or so ago, and after 
a short stay in Toronto will be back 
at his home at Hubalta, near Calgary, 
next Tuesday, October 21st. We hope 
to publish his comments on experi- 
ences overseas at a later date. 


Mr, Ellis was last year’s President 
of the Junior branch of the Farmers’ 
Union of Alberta. Two Nuffield 
Scholarships in agriculture are award- 
ed every year, one for the East and 
one for the West, The First Nuffield 
Scholarship for the West was won 
last year. by another former President 
of the junior organization, Orrin Hart 
of Claresholm. 

Albertans and the organized farm- 
ers of the Province in particular have 
reason to be proud of the fact that 
these scholarships for Western Can- 
ada have been won™in succeeding 
years by two of their young members.

DUCK DAMAGE TO CROPS 
(Continued from Page 4) 


Meaning of Conservation 


_ Today we hear a lot about ‘“‘conser- 
vation”. Conservation is the use of 
all our resources of land and water 
for the greatest good of the greatest 
number of people, over the longest 
time. As we develop better use of 
our lands — and bring our waters 
under fuller management for power, 
navigation, fish, forests and irrigation 
—- we will produce more wheat, more 
meat, more total wealth, 
more waterfowl. And I think that is 
all to the good. , 


A Canada that provides good hunt-” 


ing and fishing for more Canadians is 
far better able to meet attacks and to 
defeat ‘aggression from whatever 
source. Saboteurs.of our free national 
spirit just don’t fit into canoe trips 
and hunting lodges. 

Some want to protect our grain by 
exterminating our waterfowl. They 
overlook the fact that we have 30- 
odd species of ducks. Many of these 
are diving ducks that don’t eat grain. 
It is rare, for instance, to see a Can- 
vasback in a grain field. The ducks 
that do eat — and destroy — grain, 
are mostly Mallards and Pintails. 
These are the most numerous of all 
the duck species. 


Damage When Grain in Swath . 


No farmer kicks about ducks on his 
fields AFTER he has threshed the 
grain. The damage is done when the 
grain is lying in the swath. About 
the time we start to swath our grain, 
Nature starts the ducks flocking to- 
gether by snecies — getting ready for 


their long trek south for the winter, . 


To see such flocks come wheeling 
through the sunset from neighboring 
waters is a sight never forgotten. But, 
when they land on a swathed field 
those flocks guzzle some grain, and 
trample and destroy far more. If

Shelterbelts May Be 
Damaged by Rabbits 


INDIAN HEAD, Sask. — Failing 
measures to prevent it, shelterbelts 
may be severely damaged by rabbits 
during the winter and early spring, 
warns John Walker, superintendent of 
the Forestry Nursery Station here. He 
recommends control of the _ rabbit 
population; wrapping of valuable 
young trees with sacking before win- 
ter; or, protection of trees with rabbit- 
proof fence. Provision of alternative 
food supplies for the rabbits may also 
be resorted to. Caragana, boxelder 
and spruce are less susceptible to at- 
tack than most other species, states 
Mr. Walker. 


swaths are threshed quickly, duck 
damage is localized. When wet 
weather delays threshing, ducks can 
do a lot of damage to swathed fields. 
And when your banker calls the loan 
he has advanced to you... it doesn’t 
help to explain that the damaged 
field was “de-ducted” from the crop. 

There is a.mounting tide of discus- 
sion and study by organized farmers, 
federated hunters and government of- 
ficials. So far, action has concentrat- 
ed on scaring the ducks away from. 
swathed fields. As usual, when enough 
people get “het up” about an issue, 
we can expect effective action. It is 
sure that methods will be worked out 
for scaring a lot of ducks from a lot 
of fields. But, — the ducks still must 
eat. And where our waters” are 
brought under fuller management to 
produce bigger farm crops, more ducks 
will be produced — and some of them 
will eat and destroy grain on some 
farm fields, somewhere. — 

Now, I believe it is fundamental 
that when a farmer produces grain for 
the benefit of our whole economy, 
and his grain is damaged by ducks 
(which, likewise, are managed to 
benefit the entire community) that 
farmer’s loss should be indemnified 
in full. I believe, further, that the 
farmer who suffers crop damage from 
ducks can be indemnified for such 
loss by the simple,. proved method of 
insurance. (just as he can be in- 
demnified for loss from hail or any 
similar hazard). 

As in all insurance, so in this case: 
the best insurance is to prevent the 
loss; and all parties interested in 
grain production and duck production 
must co-operate persistently to mini- 
mize loss of grain by ducks. Where 
loss. does occur, it can be indemnified 
by insurance, 


Apportioning Insurance Cost 


The cost of this insurance should 
be met by all who benefit. (In this 
case from duck production and grain 
protection). That is: premiums ade- 
quate to indemnify all losses of grain 
from duck damage should be paid by: 
first, the Government of Canada and 
the Governments of the Provinces — 
who are the trustees of our wildlife 
resources; second, by those farmers 
who choose to protect themselves 
with such insurance; and, third, by 
the hunters. 

To provide their share of the prem- 
iums, hunters (including those of us 
who are farmers) might pay an addi- 
tional amount for the permit to hunt 
ducks. Visiting hunters should also 
contribute. 


U.S. Hunters Should Share Also 


Finally, since most of these ducks 
that eat (and destroy) our grains are 
shot by hunters further south, it is 
fair that United States hunters pay 
their share of these premiums. Know-

ing them as I do, I believe they would 
be ready to do just that. For 15 years, 
thousands of United States hunters 
have contributed substantial sums of 
cash, through Ducks Unlimited, for 
the specific purpose of helping in- 
crease duck production in our Cana- 
dian West. Adequate sharing in prem- 
iums to provide insurance against 
duck damage to grain crops will be a 
supreme investment in increasing the 
production of ducks... with the good- 
will and co-operation of the farmers 
whose grain feeds at least some of 
the ducks. 


Where Greatest Advance Is Possible 


And, speaking a final word from 
the duck’s point of view; the greatest 
advance in reducing duck damage to 
grain crops grown by farmers — and 
putting more ducks on the wing for 
hunters — is in fuller conservation of 
the vast potential of our Northland, 
embracing development of land-and- 
water blocks to produce and_ feed 
multiplied crops of wildlife, including 
ducks. :

The Master Farm Family award is recognized by an award of $1,000.00, an engraved 


plaque and a name plate for the farm entrance. 


The purpose of the Master Farm Family program is to find and honor those who have 
achieved notable progress in farming, hom e-making and citizenship, and who, by 
their example, are encouraging interest in farming as a way of life. The Department 
of Agriculture is indeed proud and gratified with the high standard of attainment 


among the farm citizens of Alberta as revealed by the Master Farm Family program.

days, to carry on mixed farming op- 
erations on a section of land in the 
Royal Park District. They grow That- 
cher wheat, Victory oats and register- 
ed barley; they produce their own 
vegetables and small fruits, honey, 
chickens, eggs, butter, milk and 
cream. The farm carries five purebred 
Hereford cows and 36 grade cattle, as 


well as Yorkshire hogs and Percheron 
horses, There is a full line of up-to- 
date machinery, including two tra 
tors, tiller, threshing machine. 

The Skrypitsky family live ina fine,

ried and started their farm in 1929; 


the land was overrun with weeds, and 
the first yields were poor. By cultiva- 
tion and by chemicals the weeds have 
been eliminated; the soil has been 
built ‘up until last year it produced 
96 bushels of oats to the acre, 43 of 
wheat and 66 of barley. 


Free-of Debt 


The first quarter section of land 
was free of debt before the second 
was added. Mr. Skiyptisky’s policy has 
always been “buy a little, pay it off, 
then buy a little more.” 


Mr. Skrypitsky belongs to _ the 
U.G.G., the F.U.A., the local rural 
electrification association, the Here- 
ford Breeders’ Association, Mundare 
Seed Cleaning Association, the Mun- 
dare Co-op store and the C.C.I.L.; he 
holds, or has held office in many of 
these organizations. He is a member 
of the Roman Catholic Church and of 
the Elks Club. His wife belongs to 
the Catholic Womens’ League, the 
F.W.U.A., and the U.G.G. 


Both Vicky, the married daughter, 
and 20-year-old Walter are graduates 
of Vermilion School of Agriculture. 
Zonia, who is 17, Archie, 16, and Mary- 
Jane, 6, all go to school at Mundare. 
Archie plans to take an agricultural 
course at Vermilion latér. All are

Lewis Master Farm Family 


Growing certified seed potatoes on 
his “Green Acres Farm”, since he pur- 
chased it in 1932, E. R. Lewis, with 
his family, produce the largest seed 
potato crops in Alberta. The farm pre- 
sents a handsome appearance on the 
Jasper Highway, with its drive, wind- 
break, well-planned farmyard, and 
modern, convenient buildings. 


Born in Calgary 49 years ago, Mr. 
Lewis, after graduating B. Sc. from 
the University of Alberta, and marry- 
ing in 1929, took up his present farm- 
stead site, where now the family re- 
side. Jack, 20, is Alberta’s plowing

uated from Vermilion School of Agri- 
culture last year and plans to take 
a degree in agriculture at the Univer- 
sity. He is a member of Wheat, Bar- 
ley and Swine and Beef Clubs of the 
district. 


Interchange Hay and Potatoes 


Father and son operating the farm 
interchange hay and potatoes on each 
piece of land, maintaining soil fertil- 
ity. Using every device for labor sav- 
ing, they combine an average of 150 
sacks of potatoes to the acre. Trac- 
tors and other equipment are most 
modern. Two crops of hay are taken 
off per year. The seed barley aver- 
ages 50 to 70 bushels. There is a herd 
of 15 purebred Shorthorns, purebred 
bull and 10 grade cattle; and there 
are plans for expansion. Feeder hogs 
are kept for pork. Most of the build- 
ings are steel, including a root cellar 
which stores 10 carloads of potatoes, 
and the machine Shop is thoroughly 
equipped. 

The girls — 18-year-old Beth (who 
plans to be a nurse) and 10-year-old 
Carol, are proud to do their share with 
Mrs. Lewis in looking after the roomy, 
two-storey house in which steel is feat- 
ured, with modern kitehen, and elec- 
tricity for appliances. Beth is the gar- 
dener of the family, and Carol is 
proud of the sparkling white fence 
she painted, fronting the roadway. 


Take Community Responsibility 


Keenly devoted to their community, 
the Lewises have a large responsibil- 
ity for its thriving organizations. Mr. 
Lewis’s interests range from directing 
the Edmonton Square Dancing com- 
petition to that of the Stony Plain 
T.B. Free Area, and important offices 
in rural electrification, Farmers’ Un- 
ion, Alberta Wheat Pool (delegate), 
Agricultural Society, Swine and Grain 
Clubs, Shorthorn Breeders, U.F.A. Co- 
op, Edmonton Distriet Co-op store, 
Northern Alberta Dairy Pool, and 
others, while he is an elder of Robert- 
son United Church. Mrs. Lewis finds 
time for many activities also, and as 
a former Calgary piano teacher is

family of nine boys and one girl, he

Business Training’s Value 


Recognizing the value of. business 
training in farming he took business 
courses in Calgary, and after working 
on a share basis with his father, he 
married.in 1919. He bought a quarter 
section from his father, who gave him 
another. 


From the beginning, as he built his 
first: two rooms and a flat roofed 
shack for a barn, and looked after his 
crops, he was determined to have 
trees. He planted 2,425 in 1923, and. 
2,450 in 1924. The solidly built farm 
buildings of today and the farm home 
are all attractive. 


The Schmaltz’s have an average 
five-year acreage of wheat of 480, 
oats, 133, barley, 138. About 22.5 per 
cent or 270 of the total 1,200 acres 
are in forage and the cropping pro- 
gram is based on eight years cereal, 
four years summerfallow and_ four 
years grass. All non-tillable land is 
pasture, and manure and ammonium 
phosphate are used for fertilizer. 

Crop yields are above the average 
for the Beiseker district, ten-year yield 
for Thatcher being 31, for Victory 
46 and for Newell barley 56. 

There is a herd of 32 Holsteins, 18 
heifers and 10 calves, but two sons 
who help to operate the farm, Nor- 
man, 25 and Clarence, 24, have be- 
come interested in beef cattle and 
plan to raise Herefords. They share 
one-third of the net income of the 
farm. There are 72 Yorkshire hogs, 
and Leghorn poultry. 

Two self-propelled combines, dump 
truck for loading grain, are among 
other first-class farm equipment. 


Many Kitchen Activities 


Mrs. Schmaltz bakes eight loaves 
twice a week, makes butter, her own 
lard and soap and does extensive 
canning, and preserving. One daugh- 
ter and two sons are not living on 
the farm, but are making for them- 
selves successful careers elsewhere.

Modern Farmer Must Be 


| Well Trained Man 


A successful modern farmer must 
be a well-trained man, declares Dr. 
F. J. Greaney, in 12 recent bulletin of 
Line Elevators Farr. Service. Young 
farm people who want to make a 
real investment in the future, he 
urges, should plan now to attend one 
of the courses in Agriculture that will 
be offered this fall and winter by 
the Schools of Agriculture, and Agri- 
cultural Colleges, in Western Canada. 
In addition to the “Diploma” courses 


‘in‘agriculture, he points out, there are 


are many short course in agriculture 
and home economics, especially de- 


signed for the convenience of farm 


men and women.

Dear Farm Women: 


Does it sometimes seem to you that 
there are several words we hear to- 
day much more frequently than in the 
old days? No doubt if we stopped and 
asked each other what some of them 
were, some would differ, but would 
you not all agree that the word “mil- 
lion” is one very much to the fore? 


Some Not So Happily Placed 


This year we are hearing much of 
the millions of bushels of grain on 
the Western prairies, which is a pleas- 
ing record. However, many times the 
figures are not so happily placed. 
Over and over again we note of some 
millions of dollars expended for some 
thing for which we know the basic 
reason is destruction. .We have been 
told that we who deal in much smal- 
ler amounts, who have not the inti- 
mate acquaintance with the. figures, 
can not grasp the immensity of it all. 
'I wonder if it is not as well some- 
times. I wonder if we would not be 
overwhelmed with the allocation of 
some of the figures. Or would it have 
the opposite effect? Would it bestir 
us to take a more active part in help- 
ing find the right column where these 
huge sums should be listed? 


« Dr. Keenleyside’s Figures 


Possibly you read some of the com- 
ments of Dr. Hugh Keenleyside, who 
is Director-General of the United 
Nations Technical Aid Administration, 
or heard him on the radio comment- 
ing on the help the Western world is 
giving the under-developed, backward 
nations. The aim is to give them

lar the Western world spent with 
this constructive aim in mind, one 
hundred dollars was spent in defence. 
And after the explosion of the last 
atomic bomb, I noted that some Eng- 
lish papers were quoted as saying 
that England had now regained her 
place as a first class power. Is all 
this the mark of a_highly-civilized 
world? 

At every hand we hear sums in the 
millions being spent where the mo- 
tive behind the expenditure is for des- 
tructive efforts and not for the con- 
structive use of mankind. There are 
many and many of us who earnestly 
ask what small part we can play in 
helping ouf civilization to turn from 
this code, which seems to prevail the 
world over today, to one of helpful 
neighborliness in our former great 
world now grown small. Earnestly 
we hope that individuals and nations 
will work to that end. 


The Kon-Tiki Expedition 
And speaking of today’s world re- 
minds me of the book I am reading 
and finding intensely interesting. It 
is the story of the Kon-Tiki Expedi- 
tion (Allen and Unwin). Probably 


many of you have read it for it has . 


been most popular. But to those who 
have not, I shall simply say it is the 
story of an expedition of six men who 
set out on a raft from Peru to travel 
over four thousand miles to some 
Polynesian Islands. The intent was to 
vindicate the writer’s theory that the 
inhabitants of these Islands must 
have come in that self-same way all 
those miles in the long distant past. 
It is most interestingly written, and 
I am sure if any of you have not 
read it, you will thoroughly enjoy this 
glimpse into the past as well as at 
the most unusual present. 
Yours sincerely, 
H. ZELLA SPENCER,

Veterinary Questions 
and Answers 


By S. H. McClelland V.S, 


Cow Is Hard To Milk 

J.H.T., St. Paul — I bought a cow 
at a sale, which I find is very hard 
to milk, Could you suggest what 
might be done to remedy this condi- 
tion? Would you advise the use of 
teat expanders, those tubular, needle- 
like instruments that are used to ex- 
pand the hole in the teat? 

Ans, — Regarding the use of teat 
expanders to rememdy hard milking 
cows, it is possible the condition may 
be corrected to some extent by such 
an instrument, provided it has been 
previously sterilised and the end of 
the teat carefully washed with alco- 
hol or a suitable antiseptic. There are, 
however, various conditions which 
would interfere with milking, and it 
is possible that the teat expander 
may not correct the condition, I 
would advise you to have your vete- 
rinarian examine the cow and per- 
form such operations as may be 
necessary, If the hard milking is due 
to a circular muscle around the end 
of the teat, we prefer to cut this 
muscle in about three places. Such 


an operation usually shows immedi-

C.A.M., Penhold — Will you please 
tell me if vaccinating a bull calf for

Situation 
By ‘LEONARD D. NESBITT 
Superintendent of Publicity 

Alberta Wheat Pool 


Th 


membered by the farm people of 
Western Canada. It provided won- 
derful early spring weather which en- 
abled farmers in the Prairie Provinces 
to complete the harvesting of the 1951 
crop. A wet early spring would have 
resulted in the loss of possibly hund- 
reds of millions of bushels of grain. 

This year also witnessed ample 
rainfall resulting in a record breaking 
crop. Never before has the West come 
through to 650 million bushels’ of 
wheat. Then, ideal harvesting 
weather has enabled the farmers to 
get off the bulk of this crop, although 
most of it has had to be piled on the 
ground. 


Problem of Surplus 


The problem now is to dispose of 
the surplus Canadian wheat, which 
appears to be around 730 million 
bushels. It looks like the Wheat Board 
will be fortunate to export 400 million 
bushels and leave a carryover in the 
neighborhood of 330 million bushels. 

The favorable features in the mar- 
keting situation are: this year’s crop 
has been harvested in good condition 
and the protein content, while below 
the average, was substantially higher 
than that of the U.S. winter wheat 
crop; Australia and Argentina will not 
have large surpluses of wheat avail- 
able for export; large areas of the 
United States winter wheat region are 
dry and seeding is curtailed; prospects 
indicate possible demand for our 730 
million bushels in wheat importing 
countries. 

The disturbing features: The United 
States has 852 million bushels of 
wheat available for export and carry- 
over and could provide 552 million 
bushels of wheat for export and still 
have a carryover of over 300 million 
bushels; Europe appears to have har- 
vested a good crop of wheat and de- 
mand may not be nearly as keen as 
in the past few years; there is a 
widespread feeling that world wheat 
production is catching up with de- 
mand and the years of scarcity may 
be approaching an end.

Freight Car Came Back 


WINNIPEG — When C.N.R. freight 
car 423436 carried barlev for United 
Grain Growers from Hubbell, Mani- 
toba, to Port Arthur, where it was un- 
loaded August 26th, it was definitely 
a long chance that the same car 
would carry the same kind of grain 
for the same company from the same 
town to the same terminal, But that 
is exactly what happened and the 
second trip was completed September 
10th. The C.N.R., state officials here, 
has more than 26,000 box cars in

A.F.A. NOTES 
a ee 
renee enladdnieeeaiediliaaane dias 

By JAMES R. McFALL, Secretary 

A.F.A. Annual Meeting 


The rush of the 1952 harvest will 
soon be over. More and more are 
the reports coming in, with a sigh of 
relief — we have finished: 

It will soon be time for farm people 
to turn their attention to other farm 
business through the medium of local 
and annual meetings. 

In the previous edition of these 
notes .we listed dates of a number 
of important meetings to be held this 
fall. The last of these is the Alberta 
Federation of Agriculture annual 
meeting to be held in Edmonton on 
December 17th, 18th and 19th. 

Previous to this time the United 
Grain Growers, the United Farmers’ 
of Alberta Co-operative, the Alberta 
Association of Municipal districts, the 
Alberta Wheat Pool and the Farmers’ 
Union of Alberta will hold their an- 
nual meetings. These organizations 
deal with many and varied questions. 
Their first responsibility is to deal 
with their own business operation and 
questions of internal policy, but em- 
anating from these considerations are 
questions of wider interest and scope. 
These in most instances require con- 
sideration by a wider representation 
if the decisions reached are to repre- 
sent the co-ordinated and consolidat- 
ed opinion of Alberta Farmers. 


Representatives of 50 Farm Bodies 


As all our major farm organizations 
are affiliated under the Alberta Fed- 
eration of Agriculture, these broader 
issues are referred to the A.F.A. an- 
nual meeting. In this way the final 


‘decision is the considered opinion of 


delegates representing over fifty dif- 
ferent organizations, with varied spe- 
cific interests. In other words, an 
issue may arise from, say for example, 
one of our grain organizations, but 
the issue in. question may also affect 
livestock interests. While there are 
many livestock men in the delegate 
bodies and directors of our grain or- 
ganizations, it is still important that 
men charged with livestock interests 
be given an opportunity to express 
their opinion, and cast their votes in 
favor or against the issue in question. 

This is the function performed by 
the Alberta Federation of Agriculture, 
and when an issue has inter-provin- 
cial aspects it is reconsidered with 
representatives from the other three 
Western Federations through the 
Western Agricultural Conference. 
When national interests enter into the 
picture, the consolidated western op- 
inion is referred to the Canadian Fed- 
eration of Agriculture. 

Thus the Alberta Federation of Ag- 
riculture speaks for the vast majority 
of Alberta Farmers. -The Western 
Agricultural Conference represents 
Western farm opinion and the Cana- 
dian Federation of Agriculture in turn 
is the National voice for Canadian 
farmers from coast to coast. 

With this background one can real- 
ize the importance and responsibility 
placed on the Alberta Federation of 
Agricultural Annual Meeting, and the 
delegates present. It also stresses 
the importance of all farm organiza- 
tions affiliated with the Federation 
having full delegate representation 
present when the _ twelfth annual 
meeting convenes in the Masonic 
Temple, Edmonton, on December 17th.

OTTAWA LETTER 
(Continued from Page 1) 
the United States, under the tripartite 
arrangement by which Canadian meat 
is shipped to Britain and New Zealand 
meat originally intended for Britain is 
shipped to United States markets, is 
running into competitive American 


THE WESTERN 


prices. 
lot of meat is available, and prices 
across the border are not high at this 
time, 

It could never have been anticipat- 
ed that such a large scale diversion 
in international trade could have run 
like “clock work”, and unquestionably 
the present difficulty will straighten 
itself out. It simply means some de- 
lay in winding up the program. In 
the meantime, Canada has passed the 
minimum figure in its purchases for 
the British market, and this has been 
of incalculable value to the cattle in- 
dustry in Canada by helping to offset 
the effects of the foot-and-mouth dis- 
ease, 


. Embargo Situation Unchanged 


There is nothing to report on the 
status of the U.S. embargo on Cana- 
dian cattle which was put on at the 
outbreak of the disease. 
the lifting of the embargo would be 
of little value to the Canadian farm- 
ers as the range of prices in the U.S. 
offers no inducement for the sale of 
our cattle, taking into account the 
premium on the Canadian dollar and 
freight costs. In any event, there is 
simply no movement afoot on the em- 
bargo’s removal. It is a matter for 
the U.S. authorities. Canada, would, 
of course, be glad to have the. open 
market as a continuing situation, but 
it was quite a period before the em- 
bargo on Mexican cattle was raised. 
That must be kept in mind. 


This year 3,288 men went West 
from Ontario and Quebec to assist in 
harvesting of the record grain crop. 
The men were transported under the 
Federal-Provincial Fatm Labor Agree- 
ments, to Winnipeg and from there 
distributed through the three Pro- 
vinces. Men are now shifted to North- 
ern Alberta and Saskatchewan. 


Distributing Pool Surpluses 


A final accounting has been made 
of the 1951-52 wheat, oats and bar- 
ley pool. There is a surplus to be 
distributed. The Canadian Wheat 
Board will start sending out the final 
payment cheques on the 1951-52 oats 


pool, today, October 15th. The final 


payment on the barley pool will fol- 
low, and finally there will be the dis- 
tribution of the wheat pool surplus. 


The final payment on the principal 
grades of oats are announced. The 
producers delivered 133,135,187 
bushels, and the surplus for distribu- 
tion is $24,746,258.79, the average pay- 
ment being 18.587 cents a bushel. For 
grade 2 C.W. oats, the final payment 
is 18.614 cents, number 3 C.W. oats 
18.733 cents, Extra No. 1 Feed Oats 
18.375 cents, No. 1 feed oats 18.375 
cents and No. 1 Feed Oats 17.585 
cents. 

The total prices (basis in_ store, 
head of Great Lakes) after deduction 
of carrying charges in elevators, dry- 
ing and reconditioning costs and 


board administrative costs, etc., but ° 
‘exclusive of the 1 per cent prairie 


farm assistance tax levy, are 83.802 
cents for No. 2 C.W. Oats; 80.922 
cents for No. 3 C.W. Oats; 80.560 for 
extra No. 1 Feed Oats and 77.762 for 
No. 1 Feed Oats. 

Later announcements will be made 
giving figures of barley and wheat.

“Greencove Grain and Stock Farm, 
J. F. Cole and Sons”, is a most attrac- 
tive place. It is a section of gently 
rolling land, partly wooded, close to 
the town of Clive. 

It has been planned to suit the 
needs of a registered herd of Here- 
fords which the sons of the family — 
Gerald, Ronald and Allan, aged 22, 18 
and 14 respectively — expect to per- 
petuate.

The Dairy Cow, a virtual milk factory, needs special feed support be-

At this time condition and supply her with needed protein minerals and vitamins, balance

slopes. The natural shelterbelts are 
being supplemented by trees planted 
along the fences dividing the fields. 

Born at Creston, Washington, Mr, 
Cole came to Brownfield, near Corona- 
tion, (with his father, who took up 
a section). He bought his own farm 
seven years ago. It was run down and 
weedy, after many years of straight 
grain production. It has been built 
up by the use of grass and legumes; 
a quarter of the land is kept planted 
to these crops. In addition, barley, 
oats and wheat are produced. The 
Herefords number 81 head — 25 of 
them are purebred — and there are 
12 Yorkshire ,sows and a flock of 
about a hundred chickens. 

Boys Active in Club Work 

The eldest son, now entering his 
third year in agriculture at the Uni- 
versity, operates the original family 


farm at Brownfield. Ronald is a grad- 
uate of Olds School of Agriculture. All 
three boys have been active in grain, 
forage, and calf clubs, and the elder 
two have held office in the Baptist - 
Young People’s Association. 

Ill-health has prevented Mrs. Cole 
from taking active part in community 
organizations, but she has made good 
use of earlier bookkeeping experience 
to keep detailed and accurate records 
of the farming operations. Seven- 
year-old Margaret is a capable little 
helper in the home. 

Besides being deacon and treasurer 
of the Clive Baptist Church, Mr. Cole 
is director of the district telephone 
association and secretary-treasurer of 
the rural electrification association. 
He is a director of the local agricul- 
tural society and supervisor of boys’ 
grain clubs in the district.
